War aifffecfe sivoatoTD .QeraimerDt By JONATHAN MAINE OF THE NETXNEWS STAFF Ever since September 11, people, services, and industries have reacted with great amounts of caution and some with alarmist points of view. Air Travel is among the most affected due to the ability of highjackers to take over airlines and convert American passenger airplanes into weapons f of mass destruction. As one of the battle fields of this new 'War Against Terrorism' has appeared on American soil, the airlines as well as air travel at smaller levels are forced to make changes and seek solutions. The major airlines, along with the FAA, are considering securing the cockpits on planes, making it impossible for someone to enter and take control of the airplane. Considerations also include having armed Air Marshals on board various flights in order to shoot terror ists and prevent greater risk. The costs for such policies seem to be a secondary concern in light of the severity of such a single event. The government is considering taking over airport security or handing it over to aggressive private firms instead of forcing the airlines to take care of it themselves, as has been done traditionally.

FBI warns of another attack on America By STACET BULLOCK OF THE NETXNEWS STAFF Monday, the FBI issued anall-too-familiar warning for Americans to be on the highest alert. The alert was issued to the tense American people as they prepare for Halloween. Security Director Tom Ridge said at a press conference at the White House that a possible terrorist attack is looming in the next few weeks. Ridge said Americans should be on alert but go on with their everyday lives. Attorney General John Ashcroft issued a warning to a shaky nation saying that terrorists may attack U.S. interests in retaliation for the United States-led bombing of Afghanistan. The sources that are accountable for the warning are deemed reliable by US. officials. "Credibility we leave to the experts but I think you can fairly assume that the experts view this tied in, this information somehow related to al-Qaida or bin Laden," Ridge said.

UVSC is always looking to expand and while many of their options are being limited to the amount of space UVSC has to build upward, administrators are looking for other locations near UVSC's main campus in Orem.

In exchange for a hefty sum of $9 million plus a $1,000 for exclusive rights to buy the property in 2004. In order for UVSC to acquire the 23-year-old building, UVSC will have to come up with the money by 2003.

Val Peterson, Vice President of College Relations, said the space is needed and can be utilized for the overcrowding college. Peterson said the school wouldn't seek tax funds this year from the legislature to fund the purchase. UVSC's priority is receiving money for an $18.2 million satellite campus in Heber. Although Vineyard School is not UVSC's first priority, it will be a major issue during the 2003 legislative decisions.Right now there are many classes being offered at the University Mall in Orem and via satellite.

In Utah, there is no city, county or state watchdog organization monitoring or enforcing codes for people witli disabilities. In most cases, it falls to the disabled themselves.
